What about some of the real-world basics? We are at the end of the month again ...next week I have this to look forward to: 4 VAT returns in 4 different languages, all asking different questions. One for UK, one for France, one for Germany and one for Spain.
We only turn over 700,00 per year. Hopefully next month we will only have to do 3 VAT returns.

Blimey, Brexit has just taken me right back to my school days!

My comments come from comparing my nephews' knowledge and fluency of English and French with my own children's knowledge and fluency of French and Spanish.
Could be that our school isn't representative, though it did get an Outstanding report from Ofsted some years ago (and has never been inspected since).

Is 70,000 or 700,000. If the latter, pretty impressive.
Crazy, all that bloody bureaucracy. I thought we were in a single market.
Refer to it however you wish, but it's a well written, well informed post that gives lie to much of the Brexiters' populist rhetoric!
That's almost a flounce

The latter.....in euros. I am nearly done with it though, EV. I sold half the company last month and hope to sell the other half to the same buyer next year if I can get turn over up a bit more.
Fed up of the accounting and the corporate service suppliers; Amazon, eBay, Stripe and PayPal basically. They don't treat me like I treat my customers at all. They treat me as if I should feel privileged to be working with them. I am thinking of something more cash based and less full-time. No more massive out of control multinational companies. I am split between a food catering van at motorbike events or horse transportation with my brother.
What do you think?

No to good catering van at events. Up front-fees to book for season/ahead pitches at events can be crippling.
Horse transportation? Tell us more
May I add quality cremant importation as a well-honed skill and one with repeat business potential year round?

Your point about only getting 20% whilst restaurants get 65% and then don't pay the bill was well erm interesting. But I am still thinking it over.No to good catering van at events. Up front-fees to book for season/ahead pitches at events can be crippling.

Sorry it was EV that said that about some margins.No to good catering van at events. Up front-fees to book for season/ahead pitches at events can be crippling.

My brother is a smart arse. He is a team manager at KPMG and earns way too much money. He is now 54 and hates it. The horse transportation idea is his. He has had horses all his life and claims there is decent money to be made at it. I'm just in for the ride there, really. He is way smarter than me, usually succeeds at whatever and so is probably onto something.

While EV’s tongue may not have the breadth you have, his posts indicate his is fifty times as long. Some times I wonder if he gets sales because the customer will pay in order to terminate the onslaught. It’s not unknown.

Are you referring to Boris our leader who has won an outstanding victory at the recent election. I don't think your man Leo will be around for much longer. Barnier will send the whole of Europe into recession if he disrupts trade.

Johnson has enthusiastically signed up to disrupting trade within the UK (between NI and the mainland) with the WA... the self-serving, lying, opportunistic twat.

They’re going to have to lower the minimum skill requirements and annual pay threshold for immigrants just to keep the NHS, social care, food manufacturers and agriculture afloat. Watch Johnson row back on promise after promise. Norman Marcel Marceau Smith was on the BBC claiming they had to let the Chinese build the 5G network as it was part of levelling up the North with the South and Johnson had to choose between antagonising Trump or the new Tory voters in Doncaster and Bolsover. They’re fed up getting drop outs while watching London Has Fallen on Sky on the new 65” telly.

Yes, and those that voted for him via the proxy of 'get Brexit done ' / a vote for the Conservatives IOW, need to utterly own this idiotic choice; and the many, many other failures about to land on them, and the rest of us, so hard.
